Chairman Whitehead notified the board of an unusual circumstance with a property that recently went through the Clay County Trustee Sealed Bid Auction of Surplus Property. Whitehead noted that with one particular parcel, the property owner had submitted the high bid. Awarding the bid would render a significant amount of delinquent tax uncollectible. Additionally, it was noted that the County has the right to deny any bid. After some discussion, consensus was to notify the property owner he had the opportunity to pay the delinquent back tax within 90 days, then he would be awarded the bid. If not, then the bid would be awarded to the 2nd highest bidder at the high bid amount.

In light of the discussion, a motion was made by Brad Harris, seconded by Joe Gilliland, proposing the property owner has 90 days to pay uncollected delinquent tax before awarding him the bid for the Sealed Bid Sale Property. If not, the bid will go to the 2nd highest bidder at the high bid amount. Motion Carried.
